So great having Ruben Studdard back at BBR! And the incredibly talented Jamar Jones came in with Ruben as well. They are starting a new project together and spent 2 days this week in Studio A laying down vocals and keys. Ruben’s vocals were outstanding as always, and Jamar was equally outstanding playing our Yamaha grand, Rhodes, and Hammond C3. Even did a photo shoot! Thanks again guys and we are looking forward to more! 🔥💯

We’ve been mixing almost exclusively on our beautiful Solid State Logic console over the past few months. Our clients absolutely love it. Our Intern, Justin, is seen here doing yet another recall for an upcoming mix session. And we’ve also had several clients recording to analog tape, in addition to mixing on the SSL.
They’ve been loving that too!

We are honored to be a part of this documentary on Wayne Perkins! One of the finest musicians to ever come out of Birmingham.
Watch tonight on PBS at 8pm.

TONIGHT ON ALABAMA PUBLIC TELEVISION @ 8:00 PM
This film follows Wayne Perkins' zigzag journey during the musical heyday of rock and roll. He was a session player, and a sideman in demand. His iconic guitar licks can be heard in songs including Concrete Jungle and Sir It Up by Bob Marley and the Wailers, Joni Mitchell’s Car on a Hill, The Rolling Stones’ Hand of Fate, Glen Frey’s That Girl, Joe Cocker’s High Time We Went and many others. He later toured with Leon Russell for two years.
